Value orientations of youth in modern culture (on the example of students of VSUES)

Values, being the result of the activity of society, affect the personality, determining the morality and morality inherent in society, affect behavior. Cultural values act as moral ideals and norms, patterns of behavior reflecting the richness of traditions and customs of society, in particular, transmitted through the educational process. Global changes that affect all spheres of life affect modern young people. The article is devoted to the identification of actual values that form the picture of the world of youth. Theoretical and methodological approaches to the category of the concept of "value" allow us to consider the attitude to this scientific category. The priority attitude of society to life values is unstable, which is why it is necessary to take into account the value-semantic sphere of youth as the most unstable representatives of our society. The results of an empirical study of value orientations according to the method of M. Rokich of modern youth are demonstrated. Attention is focused on such a value as "patriotism", which worries not only the younger generation, but also every citizen of the country.
